Target

To agree with some of my fellow Unilocalers, there are good Targets and bad Targets. This to me is more of an average Target. (but let’s be real, people in NY are not always the nicest) A majority of the staff seem like they don’t want to be there and they are sometimes very rude and have an attitude, but some of the staff are very friendly, and take their jobs very seriously. They usually like to chat amongst themselves, and can get a little snappy if you interrupt their convo.

You know that old joke about paying a little more and going to Target to avoid Walmart. Yeah. that doesn’t apply here. If you need assistance, or even just checking out, expect to get ignored or begrudgingly helped. There will be a lot of sighs and eye rolling. But hey, if your in the mood to shake your head and chuckle, security stops someone pretty frequently and said person makes a huge scene that’s usually good for a laugh.
Still, you get normal Target selection of items and location is good (right off of the Hutch), so it earns some points there.

This is my favorite Target location. The great majority of the employees here are helpful and friendly. I also love that it is open late. I can get a good bulk of my shopping done after my kids are in bed.

I am giving this rating for the employees. Specifically the employees who were working on 9÷24÷15 around 5:45pm near the fitting room. I WISH I had gone to the manager to complain while I was there. While I was shopping I overheard one of the sales reps saying «why you go through all that and waste your time, just tell them, NOPE sold out. Ain’t nobody got time for that». Now this was an elderly woman speaking and at first I thought I was hearing incorrectly, but then she said it again and a couple of other girls chimed in with her adding «shit.that is just too much time. Nope. I tell them sold out, I don’t even bother looking. Obviously if it was on sale it’s going to be sold out». Ok so now I’m baffled because I’m thinking, here you have 4 women who are EMPLOYED and instead of doing their jobs, they go this route. Not only that, but they need to reminded, they are at WORK and while you are at work you need to do a JOB, especially since there are SO many unemployed people who would actually appreciate having a job. It disgusts me. It seems like this is the norm with every Target. Either the employees are cursing as if they are at home or in a park, or just standing around copping attitudes with people who ask them for help. Someone needs to re-​train them all on their customer service skills and get some real management who can actually handle their employees because it is getting worse as the days go by.

What bad can you say for target? ?? The store has everything you need. get the cartwheel app… major savings

The store is usually very organized and the floor associates are usually helpful. The cashiers though sooooo rude. They have no smile no greeting its always grumpy rude grunts like you personally messed up their day. Other than that pretty good store

There are good Targets and there are bad Targets… this is one of the bad ones.
Geographically to me, this is the closest Target to me — but I often find myself driving to other locations or just getting select items online, rather than dealing with this store.
Firstly, all Targets are generally the same, stocked the same, have the same items… etc. You can usually find what you want at this location as long as it’s not certain toys. Like it’s competitors’ Walmart and K-​Mart, Target offers decently priced items and if I shop here, it’s because of price alone.
This is where the niceties end. The staff is horrid. If they’re not socializing with themselves, they’re milking the job… either way, the majority are unfriendly in a customer service store. As I’ve said in previous reviews, you get what you pay for I guess — but work ethic has gone way down since I last worked retail. The toy section looks like half the items are missing and dirty. I’ve taken my son here a few times, and what limited selection they do have, we always leave here empty-​handed.
The registers are those short ones, lined up 2 by 2 one in front of the other, which adds to confusion a lot of the times. Whoever thought of this cuing format needs to be terminated. The register belts are way too short to get your entire cart on to, so you need to keep putting your items on the belt almost the entire ringing process if you have a full cart. The employees are usually friendly… with each other and NOT the customer. I’ve been there plenty of times (unfortunately) without the cashier saying one word to me. Not even the empty ‘thank you’. Again, it’s poor work ethic and poor management to hire these sorry excuse for «employees».
One of the worst things about this location is the parking lot (though it’s not the store’s fault). It’s indoor and was a poor parking lot design. Between carts, people, idiot drivers and parkers, it’s always a hassle coming in here… and Target is only located on the ground level (there’s a TJMaxx, Petco, and Bed Bath & Beyond also located here). Again, not the store’s fault, but definitely worsens the whole experience.
If you want something for the Target price, by all means. Just expect the worst, because chances are, you’re going to get it.

Most of the time, my experience at this Target has been good. This time… :/​I will say this much. It is better to go during the day and during the week. DON’T come here on a Thursday evening. Some of the staff are professional, and there are those like the first cashier who told me (in a deadpan voice) that the couple that she was checking out items for was the last order she was doing. This is after waiting on line after said couple for almost 10 minutes. It doesn’t take much to turn off your cashier light so others don’t come to you. It is simple as that. I know that you must be tired from working, but it is no excuse to be rude and dismissive. As another poster said, some of these workers are from the bottom of the barrel, especially some of the younger female workers (This young woman was of color). Some of the clientele who frequent this Target (such as the couple who laughed at me instead of telling said cashier that I had been waiting. They were both of color as well.) is another story altogether. I’ve seen animals at the Bronx Zoo who can behave better, but I realize that Target cannot help who comes in to their stores, but some of its workers can provide better customer service. The second cashier (who happened to be a male young man of color.) was very polite and professional, by the way. I gave two stars because the merchandise that I bought was good quality, I found the merchandise quickly, etc. I wanted to mention that everyone involved was of color for a reason. Sometimes, it isn’t only white people who treat people of color badly, Many times, people of color treat each other badly, and in this case, by people of color, I am speaking specifically of Blacks and Hispanics.

Good sales racked up on bath rugs, table cloths, shower liners and dish sink set. All for under $ 72.00 dollars.

Excellent ! No lines, free parking, clean and organized store. Worth the trip to come here. I’m very pleased and impressed.

Inexpensive products. They take manufacturer’s coupons and Target coupons as well. 5% discount each check-​out for cardholders. They have a variety of products and weekly sales. The staff are helpful. The place can get crowded especially on the weekends. They have their own parking lot as well.

I like to go here at night its a lot less people around i got to say the got some pretty nice things here too i also like that they have other stores up that too the pet store is my favorite lol and u know i got to get me some bed spread from bed bathe and bodyworks. And even shop for some shoe at famous foot wear i also like that best buy is across the street as well the parking at target can be crazy at time you just have to have a time schedule where you say ok its so and so time its less people gone be there more parking space dont have to stuff my self in a tight spot or any one door leaving a scratch on my car or having to park upstairs and take elevator down but other than those set back its a great store

Girls at the return counter have horrible attitudes and don’t even look at you, smile, or even hand you your receipt. They just hold their hand with the receipt until you take it out of their hand as they stare off into space. Not even looking at you or saying «have a nice day!» …fitting room people are usually miserable as well. Hello people! Ever hear of customer service? Yes, that includes smiling and being pleasant! Making people feel happy to shop there!

I Stoped in Sunday 12÷14÷14. Id shopped and wanted some popcorn. It was six pm and the store closes about 11pm. They were out of popcorn.. Here’s what I found. would I eat here? In NEVERARY! I will not say anymore. Here’s the photos

The selection is decent, I’ve always been able to find what I needed without asking an employee. Cashiers are hit or miss, superficially cordial (I guess that’s retail for ya), one was able to honor price as advertised right there on the spot, another made a huge deal over their price tagging error (they placed a whole section of products and priced it, when I went to pay for it they would not honor the price they had incorrectly tagged it – Classic ‘bait and switch’). Also, the young employees always seem to be socializing like they have nothing better to do – in the aisles, while restocking, in the fitting room, and at the service desk (see below). This is why I never bother to ask for help and would rather navigate the store on my own.
I’ve never been compelled to review this Target because they are nothing really special for the reasons stated above however today I was highly annoyed. The employees at the customer service desk are rude, uninviting, and judgmental. These young kids need to be trained in ‘customer service.’ I went to return a gift I received without a receipt which apparently was not sold in their store but was purchased online, the girl seemed so uninterested, would not give me an explanation as to why she had me standing there for almost 10 minutes as she’s scanning, typing, socializing with her co-​workers (including one that was apparently making a purchase – I guess the fact that his debit card wasn’t swiping was more interesting and comical than actually tending to me, a real customer). Even when she wasn’t engaged into another coworkers conversation she would jump in as if to passively dismiss me. If I wanted to see such disregard for work I would’ve went to Walmart.
However, this Target is close and accessible so unfortunately I will have to continue coming here.

I like thus store slot. Free parking, Starbucks, bed bath and beyond what else could be better??! They always have my items in stock!!! Especially my favorite makeup remover by Sonia Kashuk! The White Plains location is always out of it. So annoying. Parking is a pain. Everyone is in top of each other. I normally park at the top lot to avoid cart dents.

Wow — what a great Target so close to the city. They have free parking. They were pretty well-​stocked, had everything we needed with respect to food and supplies. Their electronics section had the iPhone 5 charger we needed and they had lots of great sales and Christmas items.
The complex that houses this Target also has a Bed, Bath and Beyond and a PetCo. We were going to go there, but this Target had everything we needed.

I don’t do Target and my visit today just confirmed that fact and why. The store just seems out of order and confused. And of course, when I went online, they said they had what I wanted, but when I got there, NOT! And, check this out, I’m over trying on sunglasses and this undercover store security dude (well he thought he was undercover) was following and watching me. Really? I mean, really? I’m going to steal a pair of shades while wearing a pair on my head? Anyway, this place is right under T.J. Maxx, which might explain why it also is in such disarray. I probably won’t be back unless I’m desperate. I’m sure it serves a purpose for most, but just not for me.

I just love Target. When I lived in the city, I would daydream about the day that I might live near one. And now I do! My only gripe with this Target is its location. Very close to the Hutchinson River Parkway, which makes it hard to get into without waiting in some ridiculous line of cars. Once you’re in though, everything you could possibly want is under one roof.

Everytime I come here for one thing, I end up leaving with a cart full of stuff I «need.»
They’re renovating this location, so everything has been moved around. It’s not as crowded during the week, so I’d recommend hitting it up during off hours. The weekend? Shhhessssh, good luck.
Note: Don’t wear a red tee with khakis as I did. You’ll have people asking what aisle can they find (fill in the blank.)
